To Nicolette Gray, Dr. Phil's Latest Spoiled Teen From Beverly Hills

You're ignoring of the advice you were given and continuing down this path you're on is doing you more harm than good.

Dear Nicolette Gray,

When I saw clips of you on The Dr. Phil Show on my YouTube recommended list, I decided to check them out, thinking you were going to be the next "Cash Me Outside" girl who becomes famous because of the outrageous things she says while on the show. While watching, I sympathized with the issues you struggled with, and genuinely wished you an emotionally fulfilling life.

Then I decided to check out your Instagram page, and in my opinion, you're ignoring of the advice you were given and continuing down this path you're on is doing you more harm than good.

Being a YouTuber might get lonely. You might think these people are your friends but they're most likely only hanging out with you (and posting about it every single time) for collabs and to gain more fame.

Unless you know that on the inside that these people are only using you and your only friends are (sad enough) your bags. Which is a shame because I truly wanted you to go to school and, in the words of Mean Girls: the Musicals' Cady Heron, "make human friends" that you can vent to and have fun with.

You're entering an industry that can be fake and although people like Lilly Singh (Superwoman) and Colleen Ballinger (Miranda Sings) have found true friendships in it, you're entering it in a time in your life in which you need genuine relationships more than ever. I know you're trying to capitalize on your fame to make the money you so desperately want for the designer stuff you can't live without, but try to make it to a physical school soon.

I believe an education will do you good because you'll see that you have more worth than what you have and what you look like. Your brain and what you do matters, even if society does not make it seem that way. And you can make fun and crazy memories with people that can hopefully cause you to become close to them and you can have real friends. I promise not all people are bad; you just have to find the right ones.

And give your mom a car already, OK? She doesn't want a Chanel bag; she wants not to have to take the bus while you drive a G Wagon (a type of Mercedes car). She's the one with a job, not you. I have a soft spot for you because I know you're a good person on the inside and I know you can do good in the world and contribute more to society than just pictures of you with your things.

Becoming a YouTuber will only reinforce the idea that without your expensive car, bags, and shoes you are nothing. You are worthless. You need them to mean anything. College can teach you that there's more to you than that, and it's a part of you worth exploring.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
